Yeah - heard about that one last week. Be interested to see how Batshuayi gets on there, might well score them the gals to keep them up.

At the start of the season I would have said top half and a really decent go in Europe. Europe has gone, so I would have expected top 8. (Too 6 already finalised). Only change is because of the drop in quality we have seen this year, I can't see us doing that. With this squad I still expect top half, and with a bit of investment in Jan it's possible...

Another game, just what we needed!!

2-2

Never understood this logic, have other options for the cup, i dont think he'll come back, but cant see playing in the cup as reason for him not...!

It least a few names are now being linked. Interested to see how Batschuyi gets on at Swansea, meant to be a real talent.

Not sure where he is going to go if he's going to a top 5 team, only Man Utd's team would he get into.

Everton supposedly, Nice to be linked at least, however isn't he more of a second striker rather than a goalscorer?! Years Team Apps (Gls) 2009–2012 Atalanta 25 (1) 2010–2011 Cittadella 27 (5) 2012–2013 Juventus 0 (0) 2012–2013 Bologna 30 (6) 2013–2015 Sampdoria 47 (15) 2015–Current Napoli 55 (15) Seems to be a 1 in 3/4 striker.

Frustrating how they do this, rather than just release the news all together, I know why they do it, but hugely annoying for the fans.

Davis or VVD, however if VVD wants to leave too it may well be someone like Prowsey the way the club is being run at the moment.

Shame, fantastic servant to the club and a big loss to us. Thanks for the good times Jose! Shame it's ending like this.

Thought these loans were now against premier league rules ?

Saw it earlier that they're assessing his fitness due to a knock....hopefully he gets an injury which will keep him out 2 weeks and back for Leicester !

Not really important who it is...however if thats the case then they have to go.

Yeah, amazing how limited our options are which is probably why we don't play with an attacking 4.

Surely the squad were fitter under Poch? They were absolutely on it every game, just tired towards the end of the season.

Is our fitness in general to question? Not the first time we've seemed to be outrun on the pitch.

No such thing anymore...

Quite a few teams have barely rotated, we rotate because Puel doesn't know his best side.

Gary Lineker ‏@GaryLineker 19h19 hours ago If you think this PL holiday fixture list is mad, here's next year: December 16/20/23/26/30 January 1. World Cup follows. Utterly Bonkers.

It's nonsense anyway, Of course you have to spend money when you lose half your team every summer!

Whats the earliest he could be back? Got to be tempted to play a 4231 and play Redmond - Tadic - J-Rod -----------Long-----------

Agree thats the model, and I have no problem if we are playing good football to watch, being proud of my team, and we're still winning games. When it goes the other way, the football is dull and we're not getting results, then you have to question the board/manager. We may have replaced Mane with Boufal, and he looks a really good talent, but changing the system away from the norm for the last 4/5 years has caused us huge problems. We seem to be stuck between what the players seem to want to do (press) and what the manager seems to want to do (sit off). Losing Pelle has been catastrophic too as we have no focal point and no one to get on the end of crosses.

Makes sense !
